Ciri tilted her head to the side at the description- it didn't sound so rough, but then, she supposed she would have to see it in action to entirely understand.

I once took down a wyvern with only my sword, though I might also put some of my magic into the impact of the swing, but you have to have a sharp edge and a good balance in your sword to be truly successful."
